National Geographic has flagged the Analyst, Finance & Planning job as unavailable. Let’s keep looking.

Work for the IMF. Work for the World.

The Concessional Financing (CF) Division of the Finance Department has a vacancy for a Finance Analyst/Senior Finance Analyst. The division plays a key role in the Fund’s support for low-income countries (LICs). CF manages and ensures adequate funding of the Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRGT), the Resilience and Sustainability Trust (RST), and the IMF's debt relief Trusts. Accordingly, CF plays a lead role in designing related policies and mobilizing adequate financing to help the Fund spearhead timely international support to affected LICs. Examples of recent policy projects include the establishment and operationalization of the RST and the ongoing comprehensive review of the PRGT’s financing and facilities. CF engages with internal and external counterparts, including Executive Directors and officials from capitals, to mobilize Trust resources. More generally, CF works closely with SPR, LEG, and other departments on the development of the IMF’s policies and facilities for LICs as well as on the review of country papers covering all 69 PRGT-eligible members. CF actively reviews program requests, Article IV reports, and debt sustainability analyses, including to assess the implications for resource needs and to safeguard Fund resources. The division has also been active in analytical research within its mandate.

The successful candidate would be expected to contribute to the development of data management practices in the division and the department and to the development and maintenance of the division’s website. In addition, in close collaboration with finance officers and economists in the division, the candidate would be expected to participate in the financial analysis of concessional lending and debt relief operations for LICs, including the preparation of Board papers and occasional presentations on these issues. He/she would be also expected to closely collaborate with other teams (LEG, FINFR and FINIU) on all aspects of resource mobilization, such as design of instruments, negotiations of loan and investment agreements, reporting and monitoring of contributions and follow up with members.
